Agreed! But at least they won’t fine you for dancing after you score. Or mocking the other team’s fans.

Nice article Adam!

Although unfortunately there are rules of how players can celebrate when they score in soccer now. Of course I am talking of no taking off their shirts, and as we saw in the World Cup Final, the Spanish player who scored received a yellow card for taking off his shirt to celebrate.

Ridiculous, of course!

Hi Adam,

Neat deconstruction,

one more thing, the beauty of soccer is how chaos and order bleed into each other in a matter minutes and even secs. By the you make sense of something in front of you, utter chaos will be reigning near the goal, or a magnificent order taking birth.

such simplicity : kick the ball into net.
